Excellent service! We have rented through Winkworths for 3 years. Nicky has been amazing in keeping us informed, as we were new to renting and any problems were sorted in a timely manner! Very efficient and approachable team. Would recommend, 5*!

Winkworth have been great helping us secure an in demand property, offer acceptance to completion was under 2 months. Shout out to Debbie for securing the property for us using her excellent negotiation skills! Thank you to the whole team! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We engaged Winkworths to sell my late Mothers house and from start to finish they were professional, helpful and made sure the entire process was seamless and painless. Dan, Debbie and the team went above and beyond to help us and provided an excellent service - we would highly recommend them.

This is our third interaction with Dan and the team (two sales & one purchase) and each experience has been excellent. This particular time we sold our home through Winkworth and from start to finish the service we received was professional, great communication and ultimately we had a quick turnaround. We were at the end of a chain of 4 and the process became tricky at certain points but Dan was outstanding - calling frequently, working with our solicitors and keeping our buyers regularly informed. I would not hesitate to recommend Winkworth. Thank you Dan & Debbie!

Dan and the team at Winkworths in Romsey have recently sold our house and despite a long, challenging chain they worked really hard to get the move over the line. A friendly and professional service, we would highly recommend using them if you are buying or selling in the Romsey area. Thanks particularly to Dan for his persistence with this sale!

Nicky, the Rental Manager, has been fantastic — proactive, responsive, and always on top of things. As the tenant Nicky kept me updated throughout and made the whole letting process smooth and stress‑free. Highly recommend!

Amazing service from winkworths! We had another property fall through earlier in the year that another estate agents were dealing with, and as first time buyers we didn’t know what to expect. After changing from them and buying a property through winkworths, they showed us how estate agents should work! Faultless from start to finish, highly recommend.

Amazing service from start to finish! As first time buyers it can be quite daunting but they have made this process so easy and they’re always on top of everything. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to purchase our first home through!

'simply the best'!! We have had two fantastic experiences with winkworth. Firstly they found us a Tennant for our property and then subsequently sold it for us. We have bought and sold properties in the past, however we have never had a nicer more professional time. Right from the outset we were kept informed and updated on the progress of our sale. Dan is honest, friendly and very knowledgeable about the rental and sales market. Our recent sale was simple and Dan made it a pleasure. He also recommended a brilliant conveyancing company who guided us through the whole process. We can not thank Dan, Scott and the rest of winkworth enough. 😁👍🏾

Winkworth's have been extremely helpful in the recent sale of my Mother's bungalow. They were efficient in the beginning in getting a valuation and particulars prepared and came in with a competitive quote. Dan worked hard on the negotiation of the sale always being easy to get hold of and cheerful in all aspects of dealing with the transaction.

Winkworth were really great, updating us every step of the way to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible despite few hitches outside of their control. We were really pleased with how they photographed the flat and then listed and marketed it. We’d have absolutely no hesitation in using them again over competitors in Romsey.

Daniel, Scott, and the entire team were absolutely fantastic. They’re incredibly personable, calm, and composed—even when the pressure is on. Scott managed the viewings with professionalism and punctuality, always showing up on time to meet prospective buyers. Daniel was the glue that held the chain together, and the office team (the girls!) did a stellar job keeping everything running smoothly. Altogether, they operate like a well-oiled machine. Highly recommended!

I had a really great experience with Winkworth Romsey. A really friendly and knowledgeable team and always really quick to respond helpfully to all of my requests. I visited the property I was purchasing 5 or 6 times for various pre-exchange checks and they were happy to facilitate every visit. I exchanged and completed within about 10 weeks and Scott and Dan were on it at every step. I really would recommend working with them.

Winkworths dealt with the sale of my Mum's house when she had to move into a care home. This was managed efficiently with regular updates on prospective buyers and then the sale itself, so wanted to share my thanks to Winkworths

I chose Winkworth to market my late father’s bungalow in Romsey, initially approaching them as their portfolio, although varied, represent similar houses. When I met Dan at the premises, I was impressed by his enthusiasm, but also by the research he had done, looking at similar properties that had sold in the immediate area. The commission was also very competitive. Dan was efficient and effective, and the house was marketed quickly, selling on the first day for the full asking price. Dan kept us informed of the progress and was charming and helpful throughout, right through to completion. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Winkworth.

Dan and the team were all very friendly and helpful, and always willing to provide prompt advice and assistance with our home move. Everything went smoothly on the day and we have no hesitation in recommending Winkworths for anyone considering a home move within the Romsey area.

Dan got our purchase completed when others were unresponsive. Winkworth was not our estate agent but I give them credit for getting everything finalised. Dan specifically, opened communication between our seller and us to keep everyone on the same page. He was working and in contact regularly, helping keep things moving. We don't plan on moving again but if we do, we would absolutely go to Winkworth first.

Can’t thank Dan and Scott enough for doing such a great job of managing my house sale. When things started to get challenging with other estate agents and solicitors in the chain falling way short of the mark Dan stepped in and really pulled all the stops out to ensure that we got the move over the line on date date we had planned. His commitment and accountability are really commendable and I’d highly recommend them. Thanks again Dan

All the estate agents in Romsey we have had dealings with over the years have been good/very good. However Winkworth is the standout by some distance. It is a small, close-knit team who work really well together and show a real empathy with their clients. Whomever one speaks with in the office, they will be fully conversant with your case and be able to help you. Winkworth is highly profession in their approach but alongside give a personal touch with a genuine understanding of the need for reassurance and support through what, at times, can be a stressful and emotional process. Simply the best.

Professional and very helpful service received. Both Dan and Scott have been available throughout the transaction and have intervened at times to help the purchase to progress when it seemed to have stalled.

I couldn't fault the professionalism of Dan, Scott and the rest of the team and from start to finish felt very confident. Resolving issues and communicating with the solicitors and myself during the sale I felt went above and beyond.

There are a lot of Esatae Agents in Romsey. Have made a 'one-time' contact with many of them, but emphasise only once. Few really listen to your requirements, many send you properties totally unsuitable to your request. There are couple who are exceptions to this approach and Winkworth' stands out as a star. I was only sent properties with a close match to request and in the selling process potential buyers were folks with real interest rather than folks who came to 'kick the tyres'! Hard to do better!!

Winkworth in Romsey went above and beyond during our house sale. Daniel, Scott and Debbie were extremely professional, helpful and good natured during the whole process. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Winkworth in Romsey and I would highly recommend them to anyone else wishing to sell in the Test Valley.

I purchased my house through Winkworth with Dan Boxall progressing my purchase - without him, this sale would not have been possible. His willingness to get involved boots and all at all stages of the chain was something others weren't proactively doing. Thank you Dan!

It was the best decision I made in picking Winkworth as my selling agent to sell my mothers property. Dan, Lorraine,Debbie and Nicky were extremely good in keeping me in contact with sell, which was a difficult sell. They were extremely professional throughout the sell. I can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them. Thank you all again you were fantastic!

Really professional team. I had every confidence they all knew what was happening at every stage. Reassuring and approachable during a prolonged purchase due to unforeseen circumstances of probate. Clearly the whole team is highly knowledgeable and experienced. Thank you all.

It was a very long and difficult move which was handled professionally and took a lot of the stress for us. This is the 2nd time we moved and used Winkworth. The whole team worked together we would recommend them they have good contacts which kept us in the loop. Andy Lynn Tofte
